Abstract
Tawny nurse shark (Nebrius ferrugineus) is a species of carpet shark distributed across the tropical Indo-Pacific region. Tawny nurse shark is listed as “Vulnerable” on IUCN Redlist and rarely seen, recorded and studied in Indonesia. We recorded this species during SCUBA diving activity in Morotai waters in April 2022. Scientific record of the species is highly important for conservation and habitat management, particularly in Morotai, a region in North Maluku famous for shark-based marine tourism.
